Phil married [[Renée Dwyer|Renée]] the same month [[Bella Swan|Bella]] turned 17. They had planned to get married in Mexico, but that did not happen. Though Bella didn't like the fact that her mother remarried with someone younger than her, she found Phil quite decent and accepted him, and Phil adapted to Bella. However, because he is a minor league baseball player, he spends a majority of his time away from his new family. Renée stayed home with Bella, but she always missed him. Seeing how lonely her mom felt, Bella decided to move back to [[Forks, Washington|Forks]] and live with her biological father, [[Charlie Swan|Charlie]], so Renée and Phil could travel together.
